North Canton businessman Benjamin Suarez was indicted Wednesday, accused of using his employees to disguise nearly $200,000 in contributions to the political campaigns of Congressman Jim Renacci and Senate candidate Josh Mandel.

The indictment does not include the $22,000 in contributions to Gov. John Kasich's campaign. But, according to Cleveland.com, Kasich decided today to turn the money over to the Ohio chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

The decision followed pressure by Kasich's Democratic opponent in the 2014 gubernatorial campaign, Ed FitzGerald.

Both Renacci and Mandel returned their contributions months ago.

The 72-year-old Suarez allegedly recruited people to make contributions in their names, and then had his direct-marketing firm's financial officer reimburse them through payments disguised as salaries and profit-sharing.

When word of the investigation broke in 2012, Suarez told the Repository in Canton that FBI agents were terrorizing his employees.
